Context:

Slime Rancher is a open world farming simulation where you farm slimes for their plorts, aka poop. Most slimes eat veggies or fruits, but some require meat in the form of a space chicken called a Hen Hen. It's a very calm kid's game which makes this little bit of drama extra funny.

The debate starts off benign enough:

"There isn't chicken from planet earth on it

There is chickens from that planet, and they just happen to also look like our chickens

That's a popular theory among scientists who make theories about possible alien lives actually... that if there is a planet that is anything like ours out there somewhere, it's very likely that some of the species on it will also have evolved like our species"

Someone points out to the contrary:

"There is chickens from that planet, and they just happen to also look like our chickens

Literally the first line of the Slimepedia:

Hen Hens are a special breed of chicken bred to survive the climate of the Far, Far Range."

Another user agrees with the person above:

>There have been humans in the Far Far Range for quite a while. At some point, chickens from Earth were brought over and eventually bred into hen hens. This is mentioned in the Slimepedia.

And then this is when things start to go downhill:

"This is absolutely not mentioned in the slimepedia, stop spreading misinformation

What's mentionned in the slimepedia is that Hen Hen are a breed of chicken bred to survive specific climates

It is not mentioned anywhere that those chickens were brought over from earth/aren't native to the planet"

A few fun quotes I've selected:

>Oh so you also do not know how breeding species work-
Yeah, genuinely horrendous education system you went through

"
"Your points aren't good" you say after not even reading what my points are lmao

I already explained why them being bred to survive Far Far range does not mean in any way they come from earth

But hey, if you didn't ignore what I said your point would crumble, so ig you have to just ignore everything I write if you want to still look like you're right

Ngl I didn't knew there were so many uneducated people in that fandom

Like the lack of scientific and biological knowledge y'all are displaying is genuinely worrying

Y'all have literally ONE argument, and that argument completely falls apart if you take into account how biology and science works"

"That is not what you said at all

You said they were bred from chickens from earth

That is not mentionned anywhere in the slimepedia

All we know is that they are bred from a species called chicken, wether that species is the one from earth or one from far far range is not mentionned anywhere

And scientifically + logically, it is way more likely that species is from that planet, not earth

"Chickens" doesn't immediatly means it's earth chickens"

Apologies in advance if the formatting is weird. I don't post too often. lol Pretty low stakes but hilarious.

Edit: I fixed it a little. The quotation blocks decided to die because I am inept at Reddit. LOL
